🇹🇼 Taipei, Taiwan (TPE) → 🇳🇱 Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS)

Measurement round: 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z.

In the 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z round, 50 ICMP probes from Taipei, Taiwan to Amsterdam, Netherlands returned an average of 167.4 ms, with all samples completed and zero packet loss.

This route is ranked 11th among the 19 routes measured in the same round. Its standard deviation of 7.79 ms gives relative variability of 4.7%, above the 3.08% median for the set.

The average is 1.81 times the straight-line fiber floor of 92.72 ms over a geodesic distance of 9,467.8 km, yielding 55.4% fiber efficiency. The zero loss count and fair latency classification make it a stable intercontinental path, though its sample-to-sample spread is above the route set's typical level.

Ping Measurement Series

The chart below renders the 50-sample ICMP echo measurement round for this route; an accessible table of every sample is included with the chart.

Ping series: TPE → AMS

50 ICMP echo samples at 100 ms intervals · round 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z · avg 167.4 ± 1.10 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (161.8–169.7 ms), median 165.8 ms · whiskers = min–max · diamond = round average · each dot is one measured sample.

How to read this chart

The shaded band spans the measured minimum to maximum RTT of all samples collected up to that point, and the thin line traces the running average. The final position therefore matches the round statistics exactly — the band only widens when a new extreme sample arrives.

The dashed line is the round average, and the shaded band at the bottom is the theoretical fiber-optic floor (92.7 ms) for this route.

Theoretical Fiber Latency

The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Taipei (25.05306, 121.52639) and Amsterdam (52.37403, 4.88969). It does not disclose either facility address.

Physical Reference	Value
WGS-84 geodesic distance	9,467.8 km
Vacuum RTT floor	63.16 ms
Standard fiber RTT floor ( $n_g=1.4679$ )	92.72 ms
Low-latency fiber material floor	92.34 ms
Engineering floor (5% path allowance)	97.36 ms
Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference	123.31 ms
Estimated unamplified path loss	1988.2 dB
Transparent optical spans / inline amplifiers	125 / 124
Published RTT inflation over fiber floor	1.81×

Attenuation is used to estimate the number of 80 km optical spans; it does not directly slow light. See the full theoretical fiber latency, GeoNames, attenuation, and amplifier methodology.

About This Measurement

Published RTT reflects best-case backbone path behavior measured with ICMP echo probes between PoPs. End-user latency also depends on local access networks, congestion, routing policy, and traffic engineering. None of these values is an SLA.

The measurement round behind this page is published as open data under CC BY 4.0 in the Hats Network latency dataset. Per-pair files are available at /opendata/latency/latest/pairs/tpe-ams.pings.{csv,json,yaml}.
